What a memorable, delicious Japanese meal at Sugata! The Bentos were meticulously executed with beautiful sushi, delicious teriyaki, hot ginger, and salad. Good Saki, too. Sugata provides a traditional environment with lovely service and, a rarity, Japanese cooks.

Food is always fresh. No imitation crab in their rolls. I think the son is the sushi chief and he is wonderful. Kind of small, but we'll worth the trip.

This is one small (yet cozy) restaurant on Solano just off of San Pablo. Don't know how we missed it for all these years. But glad we had a craving for Japanese the other night and all the research pointed to Sugata. Appetizers consisting of...More

Chikara, the sushi 'chef' at Sugata, always has something special to recommend; he is especially great with his recommendations, once, he gets to know your tastes for fish. The food at Sugata has a very, very authentic flavor; it very much, reminds me of food,...More
